How to specify multiple matches/exclusions in quick filter?

Post by brian »

From my previous experience with UE, I thought I could specify the following in the quick filter bar:

^{term1|term2} <--anything but items that contain term1 or term2

{term1|term2} <-- only items that contain term1 or term2

For some reason, this doesnt seem to work in 1.9.5!

Help!

but why are you using curled brackets?

you need to user parentheses instead.

read http://www.netwu.com/ue/UE.txt boolean wildmats

so you need ^(term1|term2) and (term1|term2) as to your examples

as to curled brackets i replaced square brackets in original wildmats with curled brackets since square brackets are too frequently can be found in subjects, thus you can use something like {a-zA-Z} {1-9} {abcde} {^a-z}, but those are wildmat character sets.

in the end i think reading the short description in UE.txt will be sufficient
